Board appoints three members to Tullahoma Airport Authority after debate over hangar conflicts
Loading...
Summary
The board combined three appointments and selected Sam Crim and Steve McKamey and reappointed Dr. Skip Farr to the Airport Authority; members discussed potential recusal conflicts tied to hangar ownership.
The Board of Mayor and Aldermen voted on combined appointments to the Tullahoma Airport Authority on April 27, filling two five-year seats and one unexpired term.
After nominations and paper-ballot voting, Sam Crim (nominated and elected to seat expiring 02/27/2031) received the most votes in the first round and was appointed. Dr. Skip Farr was reappointed in a subsequent ballot for the other five-year seat. Steve McKamey was elected to the unexpired term ending 02/27/2029.
Board members discussed that several applicants and existing authority members own hangars and noted the need to track potential conflicts and recusal obligations. The mayor and city staff advised members that recusal requirements could affect quorum if multiple members must abstain for a specific hangar-lease vote.
The mayor thanked all applicants and said the steering committee and staff will continue working on airport governance and operational improvements. The newly appointed and reappointed members were welcomed to begin orientation and work with the authority.
